Is this the world's healthiest, prettiest almost-poutine?
I think it just might be my friends (I mean if you forgive the lack of gravy, that is!)
Canadians have this weird food... it's fries (potatoes), cheese and gravy piled on top of each other and oftentimes topped with all kinds of... well, whatever you can think of.
Despite rarely eating it back in the days of old when I lived in my homeland, I actually make sure to gorge on it every time I visit now just to bathe in the nostalgia. (Well, vegan, gluten free versions of course!)
So, I made this dish which at the time wasn't necessarily meant to be poutine (but then again, if I'm being honest), most of what I make isn't meant to be anything other than magic! ;)
Trading the potatoes for jicama to make this low carb, trading dairy for nut cheeze to make it vegan and omitting gravy altogether to make it GF-- it looks to me like there's a rainbow to taste!
Ta-da---
Rainbow Almost-Poutine
What You Need:
- Bunch of spinach
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- 1 cucumber
Steamed:
- 1 cup of cabbage
- 1 cup of green beans
- 1/2 cup cauliflower
Toppings:
- Jicama fries
- Kimchi
- Roasted sunflower seeds
- Vegan cheeze
Dressing:
- 1/2 cup tahini
- 1-2 lemons (juiced)
- 1 tsp chipotle
- 1/2 tsp pink Himalayan sea salt
What To Do:
- Chop up a jicama (or potato) into fries and put them into the air fryer with some sea salt and coconut oil (I added cayenne for some kick!)
- Wash and cut up the spinach. Spin it out and put it in a big bowl.
- Start steaming the beans, cauliflower and cabbage (you can eat them raw if you prefer but I like them a bit less hard.)
Note: If you steam the veggies together the colors may run - Cut up the cucumbers and tomatoes and put them in the bowl with the spinach
- Mix together the dressing ingredients with a bit of water until you get your desired consistency
- Remove the veg from the heat and let them cool a bit then put them in the bowl.
- Stir everything up with the dressing and sprinkle the toppings all over.
- The fries should be done now, check them to see if you can put a fork in them and if so, toss them on top!
I wish you yummy in your tummy!
Love and Light ✨

When it comes to eating with your eyes this almost poutine looks amazing! Never had the original myself lol so I don’t even know what the hype is about but I’d like to try it some day
Haha well the real stuff is CERTAINLY less healthy/good for you than this is! It's basically a cholesterol nightmare so if you're going to try anything like it, I'd say this is the better way for body and mind ;)
More Spinach!
Immunity booster! Just over here tryna live forever ;)
